问题           The Transaction of the Mental Healthy Question of University Student
    Let’s be frank: college can be tough. According to a 2007 study by the American College Health Association, 43 percent of students reported having felt "so depressed it was difficult to function" at least once in the prior year. Other studies, based on student surveys, suggest that one in five undergraduates reported having an eating disorder, one in six had deliberately cut or burned himself and one in 10 had considered suicide.
    Given those numbers, it’s deeply troubling that in 2007 just 8.5 percent of students used their college’s counseling services. In other words, students were more likely to consider killing themselves than to seek help. "After Virginia Tech, students feel more afraid to discuss mental-health problems," says Alison Malmon, the founder of Active Minds, a national group that promotes mental-health awareness on campus. "They think they’ll be labeled as the crazy kid who’ll shoot up the school."
    Counselors say that while they do keep an eye out for students who might pose a risk to others, the overwhelming majority of their patients are no threat to anyone but themselves. "The things that make it into the media aren’t people’s everyday struggles," says Gregory Eells, head of Cornell’s counseling service and president of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors, "we need to let students know that seeking treatment is a strong, smart thing."
    Counseling services must look for new ways to reach out to troubled students. NYU freshmen are treated annually to a " reality show", in which NYU student actors perform skits on topics from depression to drug abuse. At Harvard, students can win iPods for attending mental-health screening sessions and are invited to "pajama party" panels, where flannel-clad counselors dispense milk and cookies along with advice about the importance of sleep. "There’s still a high level of stigma," says Richard Kadison, head of Harvard’s mental-health services. " We’re trying to find creative ways of getting the message out."
    Many campuses also offer online services allowing students to complete informal diagnostic quizzes away from the prying eyes of their peers. "You take it in the pri-vacy of your own dorm room—not at some event where a bunch of other students might be watching you. "says Katherine Cruise, a director of Screening for Mental Health, a nonprofit that serves about 500 campuses. The results are confidential, but can help nudge students toward counseling services. Still, students and counselors agree that the most effective outreach programs are those led by students themselves. "It’s different when you hear something from another student," says Semmie Kim, a neuro-science major who founded MIT’s chapter of Active Minds in 2007. She’s held events like a bubble-wrap stomp to help students vent pre-exam stress, but says her group’s most important role is to provide troubled peers with a sympathetic ear. "We want to make students realize they’re not alone," she says. College will always be tough, but there’s no need to suffer in silence. [br] According to the first two paragraphs, which has the least probability to happen on mentally troubled undergraduates?
选项 A、Have an eating disorder.
B、Cut themselves deliberately.
C、Consider committing suicide.
D、Seek help from counselors.
答案 D
解析 事实细节题。根据题干提示定位至前两段。根据选项定位至第一段末句和第二段首句。原文中关于四个选项的比例描述为“五分之一的大学生饮食失调，六分之一的大学生故意割伤或灼烧自己，十分之一的大学生曾考虑过自杀”和“8．5％的学生利用过大学心理咨询服务”，由引可见，利用心理咨询服务的比例最低，即发生的可能性最小。故答案是[D]。
